Omnia SanaPoison hemlock (Conium maculatum) identification and control
Abstract
King County (Washington) noxious-weed profile for poison hemlock: stems have red or purple spots and streaks, are not hairy, and are hollow; plants have a strong musty odour when crushed; eating even a small amount of any part can kill people and livestock; and poison hemlock can be confused with many edible members of the parsley family including fennel, chervil and anise. Anchors the purple-spotted hairless stem and mousy smell as the distinguishing tests.
